A: That producing is just “adding sounds” — in reality, it’s about crafting the emotional and sonic identity of a song so it resonates deeply with the audience.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What’s your vision for the song? Do you have reference tracks? What’s the story or emotion you want to convey? How do you imagine listeners feeling when they hear it?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Find someone who listens as much as they produce. The right collaboration isn’t just about skill — it’s about understanding your vision and enhancing it, not replacing it.

A: I’d love to work with Florence Welch (Florence + The Machine) — her music is cinematic, emotional, and full of raw energy. I think combining her powerful voice with my production style could create something truly special.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don’t overproduce — leave space for the song to breathe. The magic often comes from what you don’t play or process, as much as from what you do.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Mostly pop, rock, indie, and cinematic music — often with a strong melodic core and a modern, dynamic production style. I’ve also worked extensively with singer-songwriters, giving their songs a bigger sound without losing intimacy.

A: Turning a rough idea into a fully realized, release-ready track. I excel at understanding an artist’s vision and translating it into a polished production that stands out both creatively and sonically.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: A combination of technical skill, creative intuition, and years of experience working across genres. I bring a fresh perspective, a keen ear for detail, and the ability to highlight the artist’s unique voice and emotion so the track connects deeply with listeners.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start by discussing the artist’s vision and reference tracks to understand the creative direction. From there, I create a tailored production, layering instruments, beats, and textures to match the mood and style. Once the arrangement is complete, I focus on a balanced, impactful mix and deliver revisions until the artist is 100% satisfied.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio is built for both creativity and precision. I work in Logic Pro X, with a hybrid setup combining high-end analog gear and top-tier plugins from UAD, Waves, and FabFilter. Monitoring is handled by professional-grade speakers in an acoustically treated room, ensuring mixes that translate everywhere.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I’m inspired by producers who blend musicality with innovation, like Max Martin, Rick Rubin, and Quincy Jones. I also draw influence from artists who aren’t afraid to push boundaries, such as Imogen Heap and Jon Bellion.

A: I produce, arrange, and mix songs from the ground up, helping artists develop their sound into fully polished, release-ready productions. This often includes vocal production, adding instrumentation, and creating dynamic mixes that translate across all platforms.
